Installation/Uninstallation being automatic, if you uninstall the product, the uninstallation program will ALSO uninstall the b777_400\aircraft.cfg.

To help us enhance the quality of this panel, please let us know of any problem you encounter when using it. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

 

 

2 – 2 REMARKS

 

1.     A GPS is included in the panel.cfg file. However, you probably shouldn’t need it since most of the information supplied by the GPS is displayed in this MFD.

 

2.     Some users have said they do not wish to have the FLCH “flight change” switch available to them. You can inhibit this switch with option in the FMC INIT REF page.

 

3.   Use the TRUE AIRSPEED option as shown in following figure:

 

 

5.   You can recognize the 777-300 panel by its 777-300 identity number:

 

 

 

2 – 3 INITIALIZATION

 

 

When loading the panel for the first time, at initialization you get the following message (depending on the language you use):

 

 

CLICK ON “EXECUTE”

 

 

Then you get the following message (depending on the language you use):

 

 

 

CLICK ON “YES”.

 

Then you will never get these message again.

 

 

 


 

3 - TIPS BEFORE YOU START         summary of the document

 

a)      Please read this documentation carefully even if you are an expert in 'flying' the 777-300. Each panel has its peculiarities.

b)      Do not load this panel over another one in which you have left some switches ON else you may well "confuse" the panel.

c)      The values in some gauges are interpreted differently depending on whether the aircraft is in the TAKE OFF or LANDING phase. The aircraft is considered to be "in the air" when it is above 1000 feet and "landing" when it is below 900 feet. For this reason you should ALWAYS climb above 1000 feet after take off, even when you intend to turn back for an emergency landing (1000 feet is in any case, of course, a very low and dangerous minimum). For the same reason, you should not load a flight in which the aircraft is already in the air.

d)      When creating a FLIGHTPLAN, FS includes as 1st waypoint the VOR of the departure airport. Cancel this waypoint too closed to the runway. A such short turn is impossible with a big jet.

e)      COST INDEX : used to compute cruise speed. Use preferably a low cost index for low cruise altitudes, exemple 1000 for 18000 feet, and a higher one for higher cruise altitudes, exemple 9000 for 36000 feet.

f)   When loading the aircraft directly with VIRTUAL COCKPIT noting is displayed. FIRST LOAD THE FORWARD INSTRUMENT PANEL THEN LOAD THE VIRTUAL COCKPIT. This is made by FSX not by the present panel.

g)      Set the AUTO RUDDER OFF or you will have difficulties to take off. Parameter is in “Aircraft/Realism settings/Flight Control/Autorudder”.
